If you were the recipient of a Stafford educational loan while at UWSP, you will be sent an email message that links you to an on-line exit loan counseling presentation. You will be given information about the repayment process and linked to your own personal loan history. You will learn what is expected of you and what options are available to you as you make plans to meet your loan obligation. When you finish viewing the presentation, you will be asked to provide contact information that will be sent to the institution which services your loan. It is a federal requirement that all Stafford loan borrowers go through this exit counseling process.

If you were the recipient of a Perkins loan from UW-Stevens Point, you will be contacted by the Perkins Loan Office to set up your loan repayment schedule. 

Each ceremony will last approximately 1 1/2  to 2 hours.
 

All campus parking lots will be open - see the campus map.

 

A professional photographer will take your picture as you cross the stage and receive your diploma cover. Proofs will be mailed to your home address, and you will have an opportunity to purchase prints. Guests are asked to refrain from leaving their seats to take photographs.  
 

For help in planning travel for your guests, go to the Stevens Point Area Convention and Visitor's Bureau for hotel links and information.
